Historia
Norway return to the World Cup for the first time since 1998 — and they bring Erling Haaland, arguably the most dangerous striker on the planet. The 28-year gap is Norway's longest World Cup absence, and Haaland's presence alone transforms them from minnows to genuine contenders for a knockout-round run.
Group I with France, Senegal and Iraq is led by France, but second place is an open contest between Norway and Senegal. Haaland's goalscoring power gives Norway a match-winning weapon that few teams can neutralize. A second-place finish is the target; a third-place qualification is the safety net.
Profil taktyczny
Ståle Solbakken builds everything around getting Haaland into goalscoring positions. A 4-3-3 with Martin Ødegaard (Arsenal) providing creative service is the default. The midfield combines Ødegaard's vision with Sander Berge's physicality. Strengths: Haaland (the best No. 9 in world football), Ødegaard's creativity, Scandinavian defensive discipline. Weaknesses: over-reliance on Haaland-Ødegaard connection, limited squad depth beyond the starting XI, and lack of tournament experience (no major tournament since 2000).
Players to Watch for Bracket Picks
Manchester City · 25
The most prolific striker in world football making his first World Cup appearance at 25. Haaland's goal rate at Manchester City — 90+ goals in 100 matches — is unprecedented. As primary penalty taker with guaranteed starts, he's the top Golden Boot threat alongside Mbappé. Norway's bracket path depends entirely on how many games he gets.
Arsenal · 27
Arsenal's captain is the player who feeds Haaland. Ødegaard's creativity from the number 10 position and set-piece delivery are what turn Norway from a one-man team into a genuine threat. If he can dictate tempo against Senegal and Iraq, Norway qualify.
